Sea farers' language

[john middleton]

I don't mean bad language, no, things that would
be double dutch to shore fellas for example
Tabnabs, Rosie, Farmer, blackpan & bell breakfast
Tiger and Sougie I'm sure you can all think of
many more could be fun

[Roger Millard]

Ok bit like a Quiz, Tabnab = sandwich cake, biscuit. Rosie= tea urn, Farmer= 3rd element of watchkeeping. blackpan & bell breakfast will guess either grey funnel line or steward related, Tiger= Captains steward, Sougie= washing bulkheads etc. The following is my contribution Dobie=wahing clothes, sparky= radio operator,Lampy=Bosuns mate, nozzer or peggy= first tripper,Truck= top of Mast.
Anyway thanks for the opportunity. Roger

Yer memory slipping a bit there Des, unless you've mistyped

A dogsleg is an angled brush either round or flat

a Fitch is a small flat brush with sloping bristles, normally used for decorative work, plus plimsolls and draught mark edges if you had a pernickety mate.
